Per Reuters Life!, Ukraine's Environment Minister Mykola Zlochevsky told Interfax, "On television, they keep showing bears suffering in restaurants and roadside hotels. How long can we tolerate animal torture in restaurants where drunken guests make bears drink vodka for laughs?"

So, the nanny country will build "a large enclosure in a wildlife sanctuary where it would place about 80 bears it planned to liberate" from bars. Where, inevitability, the new inhabitants will be moonshining hooch within weeks. And who'll be laughing then?
